Logical Symbols

Famous quotes containing the words logical and/or symbols:

“I see mysteries and complications wherever I look, and I have never met a steadily logical person.”
—Martha Gellhorn (b. 1908)

“The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
